I have a personal pleasure about this film. Many of the street action scenes were filmed in Detroit. I worked downtown and our department was about to shutdown. So I had the joy of seeing this movie filmed first hand. What a kick!!! The movie is basically two films as many of you may have already heard. The first half had wonderful science fiction themes though at times they resembled other futuristic films. The second half was pure action and very well put together. I can honestly say that this was a "fun" movie to watch. Good suspense, good visuals, the acting wasn't too shabby and the storyline stayed pretty logical through the majority of the film. I don't know if this qualifies as a spoiler or not, but there is a scene where one of the main characters has a confrontation in front of a huge statue inside a broken down complex. This is our old Union Train Station on Michigan Avenue. It was a perfect spot for this part of the story and a blast to see it on the big screen (as a child, I used to play near this statue..or something like it). This movie itself could have run another half hour to explore some ideas presented in the film. But as it stands now...it's pretty good. Want to see a good sci-fi with some interesting action sequences...then this is the movie for you.
